I can upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I see a comment in German about WoW, or not working, in Windows 11. My German is not good enough to follow. Windows 11 may have more advanced tweeks. My PC is 3 months old, soI doubt I shall have a technical issues with Windows itself. Before I go ahead and install Windows 11, I'd like to ask the Forum: Who has experience of using World of Warships on Windows 11?

Installed Windows 11 and an hour back I did a rollback to Windows 10 but for other reasons.

I didn't encounter any issues playing WOWS with Windows 11.

Windows 11 may potentially reduce your PC's performance by upto 30% until Microsoft get the patch sorted and delivered.

This is due to cache scheduling and which core a thread is running on....

 

It should be better but until it is fixed you may observe worse performance.

 

I have a relatively new system I7 11700K 32GB ram and pciex4 nvme storage but am not going to allow Windows 11 on it.

Also if you play classic games some of the DRM on them is broken by Win11.

 

Make an informed choice about what is best for you and your unique situation.

 

Personally, I hope everyone who upgrades has a trouble free positive experience.

TBH I noticed a drop at first few boots and before everything got patched up and all drivers installed and updated but afterwards they fly, also a nvme 512gb main drive, I did a reasonably clean install though for obvious reasons and updated Win10>11 a day or two after I assembled the rig so no DRM popped up so far...

 

Then again I have a Ryzen 5 5600x that goes to 4.6Hgz or so on the main core and 32gb ram so its really snappy

I have Windows 11 since "Day-zero" (4th October). Zero issues so far. 
I am on a Intel platform (11800H) and no issues with any drivers, programs or any software so far. XTU works, every driver, program, game works same as before. 

 

There was some issues with Ryzen and their L3 cache tho, I am not sure if Micro$oft already released and update for that.

Mine seems to work fine after all after-install patches went in both IRL and benchmarks so I guess they did at least to a degree...

Check reviews of real specialists about this OS. MS products aren't the future.

There is no need to rush, I'm waiting a couple months to be sure most bugs are patched before updating. Also I run an 5900X so they need to correct the AMD performance issues first.

If you plan on building an intel 12th gen rig then you should install W11 to benefit from the new scheduler due to the big.LITTLE arch, but otherwise no real incentive right now.

Biased at best. It's pretty much fine... Only people are retarded and holding to the past. :p

Latest from The Register, seems the AMD cache issue is fixed.

 

https://www.theregister.com/2021/10/22/windows_11_fixes_windows_10_/

 

 

Watch out if you clean install win11 though.

VBS (Virtualisation Based Security) is enabled by default on a clean install but not if you upgrade.

VBS is also available on Win10.

Yeah, there are two versions of the OS. For home appliance do not use VBS. To in my work I have installed VBS version on every computer (since no one is gaming anyway on the Zen2 iGPU's). At least we are given choice. And remember, VBS on pre-installed devices will only mostly see the daylight on enterprise and business grade laptops and AiO PC's. 

 

Tbh there is never too much security. Being secure isn't a anti-torpedo belt, it's about dodging the torpedo in the first place. :) 

 

I also enjoy VPN on W11 much more on W10. Also the sound mixer is much better and easier to use on W11. The new UI is easier and quicker in many ways. I haven't tested the HDR yet, but some ppl say that it is a milestone compared to W10 (it was a huge failiure there).

Never switch to newest OS. Be it linux or windows.

Specially when it comes to windows, wait for at least first major service pack before deciding if it's worth upgrading.

Never had  issues with W10 or now W11. They're best prepared OS'es ever. 

I had minor issues wtih 8.1, more issues with W8, still it was nothing when compared to W7 or Vista issues.

It seems like they repeated a lot of the windows 8 mistakes. I guess they keep alternating between releasing a passable windows and a trash windows...

 

XP OK

Vista trash

7 OK

8 trash

10 OK

11 ???

Keep in mind that there may have been issues with the severs over the last few days.  I'm getting fps drops.  My ping is steady though.

 

Personally, I'm not going to upgrade to Windows 11 for a where.  We're testers for WG already - why add to the burden by being testers for Microsoft?

Good one, but Microsoft is just giving you Windows, while Linux give you the whole house !

Unless there's a specific reason you want to use Windows 11, I'd just wait until the bugs are ironed out. There's very little Windows 11 does better than Windows 10.

I have two laptops with win 8 / 8.1 (they came like this) and they are still performing fine as today. I don't understand why people say win 8 is trash.

They claim it needs an 8th generation cpu. Still, there are tutorials on the net on how to overpass that check.

Hi, Thank you to all who contributed to my question.

 

I summarise that Windows 11 may have a direct impact on the playability of World of Warships. Like many of you, I suspect that Microsoft has launched a new OS that works fine with MS programmes. As for other programmes, it appears to be user beware! The topic went a bit off subject to include Windows in general. I understand your passions. I would like to close the topic now. Just to make you smile on this Sunday morning: I should have expected fellow players of a warship game to get steamed up.
